Firefighters were dispatched at about 10:40 a.m. for a report of smoke and found a white Pontiac Bonneville on fire. Once they'd extinguished most of the fire, they found a body inside.

Police said the body is believed to be that of a 45-year-old woman who lived in Bristol.

An autopsy was conducted Tuesday, but police said further results are needed to determine cause of death. The woman's name was not released, as police are waiting for a dental records comparison, which they said could take several days.

Bristol detectives and the state and local fire marshal are investigating.
